About me

I’m a PhD student at Institut Polytechnique de Paris, working jointly at CMAP (École Polytechnique) and CREST (ENSAE). My research focuses on stochastic control, probability, and their applications to finance and insurance. I’m passionate about mathematical modeling and theoretical research, and I enjoy working at the intersection of probability, PDEs, and quantitative finance. During my studies at ENSAE and the M2MO program, I developed a particular interest in stochastic processes, optimal decision-making under uncertainty, and model-based risk management.

Outside of research, I enjoy playing the piano and practicing ping-pong. I also like reading about the history of mathematics and sharing knowledge with others.

📚 My Research
My current work explores optimal control of intensity of Hawkes processes with Bayesian learning, with applications to cyber risk in finance. My supervisors are Roxana Dumitrescu, Nicolas Baradel, and Caroline Hillairet. I’m truly grateful for the support of the chair “Stress Test, Risk Management and Financial Steering” founded by École Polytechnique, Fondation de l’École polytechnique and BNP Paribas.
